I have a dialog setup with several edit controls and 2 buttons (ok/cancel). I want to have the user fill out the fields and hit <enter> so they don't have to use their mouse, or change the focus to the OK button. How do I do this?

Add the DEFAULT style when you create the OK (or whatever) button:

DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,OK,5,5,50,25,,,DEFAULT

Glad to help out Serge. Wink

Another thing I have done to use the ENTER key on multiple
edit boxes (with the EXIT style as needed), is add a dummy
ENTER button like this:
